Yang-Mills analogues of the Immirzi ambiguity
Yang-Mills analogues of the Immirzi ambiguity
We draw parallels between the recently introduced ``Immirzi ambiguity'' of the Ashtekar-like formulation of canonical quantum gravity and other ambiguities that appear in Yang-Mills theories, like the $\theta$ ambiguity. We also discuss ambiguities in the Maxwell case, and implication for the loop quantization of these theories.
